20% with a 50% return rate

Not too shoddy! Here it is, January 14, 2011 and I have written 20% of my Facebook friends individually crafted notes. It is taking a long time, but it is fun and interesting for me. I get to figure out how I know the person, what they may or may not know about me, when we last communicated, how much I can share, what sorts of things to share, etc. I am not doing as much cutting and pasting as I thought I would. Sure, lots of stuff is repeated, because there is only one of me and I don't change much between compositions. And I get to write a lot! Practice, practice, practice! :)

And a 50% return rate isn't too bad. Not great, but not bad. Some people I thought would never respond, responded quickly and pithily (I still owe one respondent a return response). Others who I thought would at least respond have yet to do so. I will bug them eventually. Right now, I can't be bothered. And still others have defriended me. So far, two people have opted to not have me be their FB friends. I am crushed. Ok, not really. One was a bartender who put on a good front of valuing me as a human being, but I guess she was good at faking it. So, good riddance. Another is the daughter of a friend - she had asked me to be her friend, so I don't know what her defriending me is about. Again, not heartbroken. She is a college kid and she and her life are not really all that interesting to me. Not that I don't like to hear about and from her, but not a huge loss.

My friend Adam suggested a useful utility called Social Fixer - it is a browser add-on that makes some interesting and helpful tweaks to Facebook. One of the main reasons I got it was because of a "friend tracker" option. It shows changes in friendship statuses. It was from that I learned about the defriending. And also that a couple of people have disappeared. Apparently that happens now and again. One of them has reappeared - maybe the other will as well, one day.

So, if I were to post some of the projects I have lying around and their percentage of completion, would I get any feedback on which one I ought to pursue to closure?
